Opinion The Fonecast -

It was 1996 when I started working at the Cricklewood head office of Peoples Phone [writes Mark Bridge], initially in a sales support role before becoming part of the Marketing team. The company was an independent mobile phone retailer with a growing network of high-street shops and connected customers. In November 1996 the company and its customer base were acquired by Vodafone, which had already taken over the Talkland retail business and was soon to add Astec to its portfolio.

The Swype text input application, which recently hit the headlines when a Samsung Galaxy S user managed to beat the SMS world record, is now available for a number of Nokia mobile phones.

Swype for Symbian Beta is compatible with the Nokia 5800, Nokia 5230, Nokia X6, Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 mini – all of which run Nokia S60 5th Edition.

It offers text entry speeds of over 40 words per minute; the beta version includes support for English US, Spanish, Canadian French and Brazilian Portuguese languages.

Venture capital firm Nokia Growth Partners is a co-investor in Swype; a total of $5.6 billion in funds was raised by Nokia Growth Partners, Samsung Ventures and Benaroya Capital in December 2009.
